Alcor is pleased to announce continuing support for development of theoretical nanomedical protocols and devices. For the third year, Robert Freitas, Jr. will receive a grant to continue his pioneering work in nanotechnology. Freitas has acknowledged Alcor’s support in several peer-reviewed, published papers. He also has one additional peer-reviewed paper currently in press at J. Phys.Chem. A (slated for August 2007 publication) and four other peer-reviewed papers in various stages of completion — all Alcor-supported — that should be published sometime during 2007-2008.

Attendees will hear from an exciting array of speakers, gain tips for living longer and hear from the Kronos Science Laboratory about their human aging measurement experiment.

This meeting will take place on July 15th at 5:00 pm. The primary purpose of this meeting will be to get to know others in the area who share a similar attitude towards cryonics and other related fields.

Board meetings are typically held on the first Saturday of the month. Due to the 4th of July holiday, the next Board meeting is scheduled for Saturday, June 30, 2007, at the Alcor facility (7895 East Acoma Drive in Scottsdale, AZ) at 11:00 AM (PST). Members and the public are encouraged to attend.

Attention, Phoenix area cryonicists: Join your local monthly Cryonics Meetups to socialize with like-minded people, discuss topics of interest in the field of cryonics, and help build a sustainable cryonics community.

The next Meetup will be held June 21, 2007, at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome (no affiliation with Alcor required)!

Several hours were spent on the phone with multiple representatives at AT&T trying to establish toll-free phone access from Canada. After much discussion, they realized that the line was caught “in limbo” and had never been fully transferred to AT&T.

Members in Canada have confirmed that the toll-free numbers (both the business and emergency lines) are now working.

Thank you to all the members in Canada who helped with testing the phone lines.
